Accepting the Warm Embrace of God’s Love

You can stretch out your hand and reach to Heaven. ²You whose hand is joined with your brother’s have begun to reach beyond the body, but not outside yourself, to reach your shared Identity together. ³Could this be outside you? ⁴Where God is not? ⁵Is He a body, and did He create you as He is not, and where He cannot be? ⁶You are surrounded only by Him. ⁷What limits can there be on you whom He encompasses?

Everyone has experienced what he would call a sense of being transported beyond himself.… ³It is a sense of actual escape from limitations. ⁴If you will consider what this “transportation” really entails, you will realize that it is a sudden unawareness of the body, and a joining of yourself and something else in which your mind enlarges to encompass it.… ⁷What really happens is that you have given up the illusion of a limited awareness, and lost your fear of union. ⁸The love that instantly replaces it extends to what has freed you, and unites with it. ⁹And while this lasts you are not uncertain of your Identity, and would not limit It. ¹⁰You have escaped from fear to peace, asking no questions of reality, but merely accepting it. ¹¹You have accepted this instead of the body, and have let yourself be one with something beyond it, simply by not letting your mind be limited by it. (A Course in Miracles, T-18.VI.10;11:1,3-4,7-11. See also ACIM Text Made Simple.)

Our true Self abides in the Love of God. Being all encompassing, this Love keeps us safe. It keeps us united with our Father. No matter what dreams may come into our mind, this unity is unaffected. While we identify with the body, we cannot know the grandeur of our Identity as God’s Son. This is why the Course emphasizes the idea that we are not a body, we are still as God created us.

Today we pause and let Christ’s vision show us the reality of Love beyond the body. His vision looks past all conflict and differences to the Light of Love we all share. In this Light, dreams of differences and individuality diminish and the warm embrace of God’s Love grows stronger.
